(photos/submitted) OFA has mixed reaction on funding ONTARIO - The recent funding announcement from the provincial government provided a mixture of good news and bad news for Ontario agriculture, according to an Ontario Federation of Agriculture news release. For producers of fruits and veg- etables, it was good news. Agriculture Minister Leona Dombrowsky stepped forward and acknowledged what the sector had identified as needed support to cover the losses from the 2005 crop. Grains and oilseeds producers have a much different view of the province's attempt to satisfy their income shortfall on the 2005 crop. When the federal government's $120 million from last fall is com- bined with this week's $80 million from the province, it means these producers are being paid 40 cents on the dollar. OFA and its Unified Voice part- ners will continue their attempts to work with governments to flesh out their plan for agriculture by lobby- ing their efforts to convince our governments to recognize and accept the solutions that farmers have developed and put forward. The OFA will continue to lobby provincial and federal governments to respond with programs that will carry agriculture through to 2008 when the next agricultural policy framework is due. The OFA believes these partial program announcements only encourage a stronger resolve. market Medium Holstein 75-85 Plain & Heavy Holstein Plain: N/A Heavy: 85-95 Mike Durin, Auburn consigned one grey veal steer weighing 800 lbs that sold for 135.
